Ten teenagers and young adults were interviewed using a semi-structured interview guide developed by the Maison de Solenn team, and their stories were analysed using a qualitative methodology. In this article, we focus on three main themes: the psychological assessment and its effects, post-appointment family reorganisation, and changes in the aftermath. Over and above the pros and cons and the many polemics surrounding the issue of HIP, this article takes a nuanced approach to all the issues and changes that the HIP designation can generate in a young person and his or her family.
